[Looking_for_911]

On my first trip to Key West back in the early 80's I was quite pleased to run across a liquor store that sold Boodles Gin, the same brand that John D. MacDonald's "Travis McGee" character drank - after his Plymouth Gin days.
I had always wanted to try it but being in liqour controlled Alabama our "State Stores" didn't have it on the shelf.
I had bought a fifth from the purveyor of fine spirits in KW and proceeded to drink it all in a couple days as my mind wandered and pen danced across paper writing tales that'd never sell.
When my time was up I knew I had to bring home some Boodles, but how. Delta had runied a bag or two for me in the past, so what to do.
Well, I bought a University of Miami gym bag, one with a small lock, and took all of the sweat shirts and sweat pants - it was a Winter trip, mind you - and wrapped up three fifth bottles in layer after layer of soft cotton clothes for the flight home.
Somehow, some way, they made the flight just fine! Maybe I was just lucky.
